I'm a relatively new fan-I hadn't even been aware of MCR until "I'm not Okay" was released. And who cares if a "prep" or a "nerd" sing along and try their hand at dressing in the boys' style? How the hell did all those "groups" get started without people copying others... if they think they're changing because they dress like someone else, then let them, it's their fashion sense. |

Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1152 | December 24th, 2005 at 12:27am I'd say both positive and negative, as has been said.
I don't care what someone's fashion or dress is because that is what the music is about; being you. When you say nerd, you do realize that the very people that make up MCR were labeled nerds in school? It doesn't matter how one dresses or anything else as long as they know what they're singing. It's different if they're doing it to be cool, to fit in, etc.
I have to disagree with the fact that you say most new fans are posers. That comes off sort of like elitism to me, you know?
I've talked to old "fans" who had no clue what the meaning behind a lot of the lyricism was. I think it's an unfair judgement to say that because at one point, we were all new fans.
Every band has fans that are what you might consider to be teenies or posers; it's inevitable.
I think that the draw back is not in fact getting fans of a certain dress, but people who, to quote INO, sing the words, but don't know what it means. |

Age: - Gender: - Posts: 643 | December 24th, 2005 at 12:47am I like it in that they are getting more exposure so there is more of them for us to see... they're on television, in magazines, and the like more now... but I don't like how people bag them out without even listening to any of their other songs besides the singles, or say they love them when they only know one song and nothing about the band. |

Forming a deadset opinion either way based on singles isn't exactly getting off on the right foot. |

But it can help give an inkling of whether or not you're going to like the music. I mean, first time I heard Helena it was like... *BAM* "I love them, I'll buy their cd". And I did, and I loved them even more. It's a mixed blessing really. |

Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1152 | December 24th, 2005 at 01:02am But you bought the cd; you didn't walk around proclaiming yourself # 1 fan based on the fact that you liked one song.
What I meant was forming an opinion that cannot, will not change and isn't open to anything, such as one against them or one for them based ONLY on one song, isn't usually the greatest idea in the world. |
